context_page_description: George Harrison was the prospector who allegedly discovered gold in the Witwatersrand on Langlaagte farm. He was a friend of George Walker and George Honeyball. He apparently found the main reef in 1886. He later left the Rand.
  He is believed to have sold his claim for £10.
  The site of Harrison's claim has since become George Harrison Park in Johannesburg. In 2013 and 2015 the park was reported to be in a state of disrepair; as of June 2019 an undated article on the Johannesburg Parks website states that a major refurbishment is planned.
  A 1988 statue of Harrison by Tienie Pritchard, also known as "The Miner", was commissioned to celebrate the centenary of Johannesburg. It is 4 metres tall and is described as "one of the largest sculptures in South Africa". It is sited at Settlers Park, Eastgate.
